Darn good show. Just had to get that in. I'm about to finish the 5th season and it's only taken a month or so. Mrs. Taylor...sweet Jesus.
Man, things have been going pretty well since I started seeing the therapist. My legs are in the best shape they've been in awhile. Only now there's different problems. I've been having trouble breathing during my past two runs. There's a deep pain in my middle abdomen and lower chest area. It usually starts at about a mile and doesn't die off. It's frustrating. At first, I thought it was because I ran the same day I gave blood...which apparently is frowned upon. Who knew? But it happened again tonight. Despite all that I've clocked my last two runs (4 miles and a 5k) at under a 9:00 pace. Realistically, I'd love to complete the P200 at around 9:30. I would be proud of that.
And now for a second weigh in...finally. Now that football season has come and gone, I'm happy to report the following numbers:
Beginning weight: 238
Current (3/13): 215
Hard to believe I've dropped 23 pounds, especially considering that I'm lifting weights now as well. I would love to drop 10 more before race, but wait a minute...that would put me at 205, inching dangerously close to not being a Clydesdale. What would I do? Celebrate, that's what. SEND IT
Great post, brother. Glad to hear that your legs are holding up and feeling good. Looking at that Daily Mile widget: have you really run 297 miles since January 1?
ReplyDeleteThat would equal roughly 6.5 miles per day in 2012. Daily mile allows cycling workouts as well. I will need to check if you can break down the activities to just running or not.
ReplyDeleteYou can break it down by activity! Way to work it out, Brian!!! Keep up the great work!
ReplyDeleteAwesome work on the weight loss! Keep it up. I'll look forward to hearing about your relay experience. After having done 5 of them, maybe I'll write you an email with some "lessons learned" that you can use or lose as you see fit. Hope all is going well in the Southland! - Tim S.
